Rescue

As a family we watched the first Chilean Miner emerge from the ground and exit the rescue capsule. I am truly in awe of so many things; the greatness of God, the technology available, the engineers who designed the rescue, the government who put their full force behind the effort, the resolve of everyone involved. My heart swells with respect for this achievement.

And, too, of course, the courage of the miners themselves to work together to ration what little they had and support each other through an endurance test unlike any other.

So many extraordinary people - what a blessing to us all. What amazing examples of who we all could be.

About Me

Lady O grew up on the Upper West Side of NYC, back in the days when it was safe to expect your 9-year-old to take the A train all the way to Washington Heights to school every day - alone. Her teenage-age years found her relocated to the left coast of the vast North American continent. She’s spent decades learning to enjoy granola and sunshine, all the while mourning the loss of descent public transportation, and her beloved American Museum of Natural History.
Her favorite things to do are cooking, reading, walking, relishing Pixar movies and surfing the Internet for useful information. Gypsy loves exotic vacations, and fearlessly studies the maps of the cities of the world, hoping to wander through all of them before her demise.
